If you are in any stage of the software purchase or implementation process, this guide can help you avoid common implementation pitfalls and misleading sales tactics.

The primary audience for this material is anyone in a small to medium-sized organization that wants to buy and implement an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system or consolidate the software they are currently using. People who are comfortable with software but have not been through a new implementation can use it as a quick way of getting an idea of what is coming.

This guide is also helpful to anyone wanting to change their career, or a student doing career planning, to gain insight into the real life of being a business analyst, solutions architect, or project manager doing software implementation.
